<p>Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer of Palantir, said during an interview this week that the U.S. needs to produce the world&#8217;s first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nuclear-power" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nuclear-powered</a> cargo ship.</p>
<p>Sankar made the remarks during a talk with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, who said that Sankar was &#8220;widely tipped to be part of President-elect Trump’s incoming senior leadership at DOD.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that to continue having the U.S. be the world&#8217;s dominant naval power means that the U.S. also needs to remain the world&#8217;s dominant commercial shipping power.</p>
<p>&#8220;We still have a massive asymmetric advantage with our nuclear reactors,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think we should build the first commercial nuclear-powered cargo ship fleet in the world that are American-flagged, American-made, leveraging our military’s greatest technology, driving the lowest cost of shipping in the world, bringing down inflation and the input costs, and use that to bootstrap and rebuild a massive bolus of investment into shipyards.&#8221;</p>

<p>Alex Karp, the co-founder and CEO of Palantir, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-eviscerates-democrats-voters-do-not-want-to-hear-your-woke-pagan-ideology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> late last week that Americans expect the U.S. to be the most lethal fighting force in the world and that the country has an obligation to be that.</p>
<p>“Americans are the most loving, God-fearing, fair, least discriminatory people on the planet,” he said. “They want to know that if you’re waking up and thinking about harming American citizens, or if American citizens are taken hostage and kept in dungeons, or if you’re a foreign power sending fentanyl to poison our people, something really bad is going to happen to you and your friends and your cousins, and your bank account and your mistress, and whoever was involved.”</p>

<p>He continued, “When Americans are spending a trillion dollars on ‘defense,’ what I want and what I think my peers want is: why are these people keeping our citizens as hostages, torturing our people, attacking our allies, maligning us in what was once called the United Nations — basically a discriminatory institution against anything good? We need to stand up and those people need to be scared.”</p>
<p>He said that it was critical for the U.S. to dominate because “we have the best products in the world, and we cannot have parity.”</p>
<p>“Our adversaries do not have our moral compunction,” he said. “If it is even, they will take advantage of our niceness, our kindness, our desire to be at home in Nebraska and New Hampshire or wherever we live, in our peaceful environments.”</p>
<p>“They need to wake up scared, and go to bed scared, and if you give that to the American people, the American people will go back and say — and honestly, I probably shouldn’t say this, this is why I thought the Democrats were going to lose the election, and why they did, because people want to live in peace,” he continued. “They want to go home. They do not want to hear your woke pagan ideology. They want to know they’re safe. And safe means the other person is scared. That’s how you make someone safe.”</p>
<p>“The average American person understands this,” he concluded. “Unfortunately, many of the intellectually captured institutions, funneled and intellectually owned by the Berkeley faculty, do not. That’s what they want. It is sure as hell what I want. And that is why Palantir and all the people in this room, I hope, are here to serve the American people. And my version of service is, the soldiers are happier, the enemies are scared, and Americans go back to enjoying the fact that we’re the only ones with a real tech scene in this country and we’re going to win everything.”</p>
